Kate has decided that she wants to eat by herself. If she could talk, I think our meals would start with, "Leave me alone, Mom. I can do this all by myself . . . I'll just watch Meg and do what she does."
Meals are messy. They take forever. Food is everywhere . . . the high chair, on Kate, on the window, on the table. But Kate is learning to eat with utensils and feed herself . . . one heaping spoonful at a time.

Meg has decided that she wants to dress herself . . . not only the physical act of dressing, but she also wants to be an integral part in selecting what she's going to wear.
Some days are better that others.

Today, Meg proudly wore her Halloween shirt to preschool . . . with the neck hole so stretched out, it looked like a boat-neck Tshirt. When I asked, "Did you have trouble getting your shirt on over your head?" Meg replied, "Yeah. I haded (had-ed) to put my arms through the neck hole. It didn't work. I got all twisted, so I just took it off and started over."
My children are becoming more and more independent every day. I am one proud mommy.

Oh yes, Claudia is in the THROES of wanting to pick out her clothes. We have a tantrum every morning, because we won't let her wear her pink chiffon Easter dress to school. :-)
I love it! You always give me such great insight to what I have ahead. Not to mention, I get a laugh everytime I read a post like this:)
